Unlike some other conventional cheaper Macro conversion lens or filters, this DCR-250 Super Macro lens obtains the maximum macro magnification power when set at the most telephoto position of zoom lens.

The lens is made of high index optical glass elements which produce rich and razor sharp image and a must accessories for those who use super zoom bridge camera like Panasonic FZ28, FZ35/FZ38 and so on, Canon SX-20, SX-10, SX1 and so on, Fujifilm S200EXR, HS10 and probably many other super zoom bridge camera avaialable in the market and not to forget those who use DSLR camera from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Sony and many others.

But then again, this also depending on that person if he/she like Macro Photography or not... this is the most obvious factor... otherwise, you don't need this for sure.

So for those who like Macro Photography and those tiny little insects, you would love this lens so much.

I am currently using the Fujifilm Finepix HS10 and I happen to like insects and Macro Photography and thus the reason why I am so excited to finally get the chance to test this wonderful Raynox DCR-250.

So let's have a look at this item now...

The box;

Out of the box, they give you a nice plastic box and the product manual....

And inside the plastic box you will get all this items;

The lens, the universal adapter and the lens cover...

The lens;

Universal adapter for lens below the size of 67mm

This is how the universal adapter work... just press that thing on the side to adjust it according to your lens size...

I bought this lens from McGill Singapore for SGD 153.00 and that is already includes the FedEx courier service shipment charges - which is very fast. Bear in my mind though depending on your country's customs regulation, you might need to pay some import duty or tax or levy. Contact your local customs office for further information on this import tax matters.

Overall, I am extremely happy to bought this Raynox DCR-250, worth every single dollars that I spent for it. Recommended to all...

Chubby, fly is fly and insect is insect, they never really stay so long and wait for you to finish - especially if you come closer... You have to use fast Shutter Speed - but in my case there are 2 helping factors:

1- Fujifilm HS10 have long zoom and the Raynox DCR-250 can perform at Telephoto length (though u still need to adjust your actual lens distance from the subject), if you use Panasonic FZ28/FZ35 with Raynox DCR-250, you can make the best use of this Raynox DCR-250 as well...

2) The Fujifilm HS10 have this ability to capture image (at full resolution) with the speed of 7 frames per second.... so I make the best use of it. With Panasonic FZ28/FZ35 you can try to use the "Burst Mode" (in the SCN) but the image size is at 3MP only, but try also to experiment at full resolution with speed mode capture if there is any.

Too bad I am not able to buy this item now because I lack funds in my Paypal. Whew. I only have $30 on it and this one costs about $50-$60. Tsk tsk. I wish I can generate more income or can get donations! Haha! So that I can buy this wonderful item. Whew.

Hi there, I've just acquired a Raynox DCR 250 for my HS10, however I really can't seem to get it to focus on anything! Can you help me figure out the best settings for shooting, for example, as it's to be taken using telephoto, should I be using macro or not? Thanks very much.

Hi DJS,Thank you for sharing your incredible skill and macro photographs! I've read thru your links and like Andrew above, I still can't get my HS10 to focus with the Raynox DCR-250. I'm using regular Macro (not super), approximating distance to subject as you and zoom at 80-300 mm and nada. What setting (Manual, SR-auto, etc are you using? What other factors would affect focusing? Please help!Thank you,Poodle
